The Good Fellas Pizza

Today the team went for pizza instead of the usual rice meal for lunch. We went to try the Good Fellas Pizza House located at the 2nd floor of Sweet Leaf at Pabayo Street, CDO.

The place looked cozy and is perfect for group of friends who would like to chitchat for a few hours. Luckily, the place was empty when we came in so we have all the place to ourselves. And with that, we took selfies all over the place like we own it!

These are the pizzas that Good Fellas has to offer.

Boo and I got the Joe Piney since Big Joe was out of stock. We also tried the Jojo Potato.

For the drinks, we ordered milk teas from Sweet Leaf at the ground floor. They can bring your drinks inside the pizza house so you don't need to wait inside the tea house.

Here are more pictures:

So here's my review:

The Taste

I'd give 6/10 for the taste. It tastes like any regular pizza for me.

Value for Money

Php200 for a double-sized pizza is affordable when you dine in a cozy place such as Good Fellas. But really for a pizza lover like me, double sized pizza is just good for one person.

Will I dine here again?

Possibly 2/10. Aside from the fact that it will be difficult for us to find a parking space on that area makes it not our preference for a pizza place.

Travel: Packing your Toiletries

Preparing toiletries is one of my favorites when packing for my trip. I enjoy putting up all my essentials in small containers knowing that I can bring everything I need packed in small bottles.

Among all the things that one must pack, toiletries are also very important on the hygienic side. Well you can always buy your toiletries once you arrive to your destination or just use the complimentary ones from your hotel. For backpackers like me, I always think that it is cost saving and is very convenient if I bring my own toiletries with me during my travel. I find it very useful on emergencies, an overnight stay and even during car trouble and you need to temporarily stay on your friends house.

So let me share my perfect set of toiletries when I'm out on travel. I usually travel light and these kit works well for me. I have 3 compact sets that I'll be describing later on. These are what I usually bring with me when I travel. I've tried a lot of travel kits before but these ones are my favorite.

To start, the main toiletry pouch is this purple toiletry kit that I got from SM a few years back. It has a detachable pouch were I put all of the remaining stuff that won't fit on the main pouch. One thing I liked about this is that it fits easily on my luggage and won't take much space. It's space efficient and very compact and convenient to bring.

 

Here's how it looks when I have all the bottles in place.

As for the small containers, I made use of my Human Nature (HN) sample size bottles to fill my bathroom essentials.  You can always use any other bottles but what I like about the HN bottles is that I don't need to label them anymore and they are of the same height and size so they fit perfectly inside the kit.

This one contains my Dove Body Wash.

I use these two bottles from HN and refill them with my favorite shampoo and conditioner everytime I travel.

 

This is the small version of my facial wash from HN.

This as well is a smaller version of my HN feminine wash in Powder Coral.

I'm reusing this lotion bottle (still from HN) and refill them with my favorite lotion.

This is a smaller version of the Sunflower oil. And what I did was I bought a small pump bottle and remove the sticker from my old Sunflower oil bottle and stick it on the small one.

My mom-in-law gave me this sample bottle which I refilled with the same Cetaphil cleanser after using all the contents.

My deo spray from One Earth Organics is on this small spray bottle.

I placed the cotton pads and cotton buds on these small boxes I got from Gaisano.

Here's what's inside the detachable pouch - nail cutter, dental floss, small toothpaste and a lens compact kit.

I got this kit from Japan Home a few years back. I refill the lens container with my day and night face moisturizer and labeled them on the bottom as D and N respectively. For the solution bottle, I filled it with my face toner.

Now on to the 3rd pouch - the brown polka dotty pouch. This one contains all my make-up. I don't really wear a lot of makeup when travelling - just the basic ones will do.

- Clinique Parfum on the gray atomizer

- Clinique Lipstick

- Clinique CC cream

- Clinique Eyeshadow

- Clinique Mascara

- VS Eyeliner

- VS Lipliner

- Etude Eyebrow Brush

- VS Cologne

- Everbilena Eyelash Curler

- Tweasers

All these in one tiny pouch. Isn't it amazing?

So that's it for my Toiletry Essentials. I hope somehow this blog post have given you an idea on how to pack your toiletries efficiently.

Until my next post. Ciao!

Harbour City, Centrio

Ayala Centrio recently opened its newest fast food chain called Harbour City located at the 2nd floor just right beside Hukad.

As their slogan says "We bring Hongkong to your table", Harbour City brings its customers to a new and different way of dining. From pushing food carts around and from the clapping of each crew to get another crew's attention gives us Cagayanons an unusual dining experience. We were actually confused on how to get our order the first time. The crew who led us to our table did not quite explain that there will be pushing carts around that will be getting our order. The clapping can be annoying too at times. I've been to Hongkong though but I haven't witnessed such scenario. Maybe this is just how it is when dining in Hongkong food chains.

Their menu is limited only to a variety of dumplings (see picture below). They will not give you a separate menu immediately like those of a chinese reataurant. So better check their menu first outside before dining.

When we went there last June 27, there were a lot of people on the waiting list. Even so we didn't wait that long. Wait time was just around 5-10 minutes and there was already an available table for us. Another observation that I have here is that aside from the fast pace, you can't really stay here for long to chat with friends since there are people outside waiting for their turn to dine. I wouldn't recommend it for groupies though who would like to stay long and chat. I recommend this to people who want to dine instantly and will leave after dining.

Now for the food, Boo and I ordered their rice toppings. We were given an order sheet that lists all our orders.  The crew takes the sheet and record what you've ordered. This guy over here is the one serving the rice toppings. 

We got our drinks from another push cart.

The Siomai's are on this push cart.

Pork Siomai

Quail Egg Siomai

While you can get dumplings and spring rolls from this push cart.

Vegetable Spring Rolls

Basically the push carts just roam around to give customers their orders. You can get as many dumplings and siomai as you like. So here's us on our Harbour City moment.

In total, we paid Php450.02 for the entire meal. Not bad though. The food was just right for our hungry tummies.

So here's my review:

Value for money: 9/10

Ambiance: 8/10

Food Presentation: 8/10

Taste: 7/10

Customer Service: 6/10
